BATTLE CREEK, MI - Continuing with their commitment to upgrade their player roster, the Battle Creek Rumble Bees have completed several transactions that are taking effect immediately.

In a deal completed with the Delaware Thunder, the Rumble Bees re-acquired center Eli Kinsman in exchange for the rights to defenseman Bryce Litke. In addition, the hockey club announced the release of both center Phoenix McElroy-Scott and left wing Yaroslav Blokhin.

Kinsman, 22, will be returning to Battle Creek after starting his first-ever professional season with the Rumble Bees in October. Before being waived by the Rumble Bees, the Cocoa Beach, FL product had registered 3-points in 4-games on 2-goals, 1-assist with 2-PIM. The highly-skilled pivot collected 3-more points in 3-outings with the Thunder, counting 1-goal and 2-assists. For the season up to date, Kinsman has been averaging virtually a point a game; 7(3-3-6).

The second coming of Kinsman commences Wednesday night in Port Huron where the Rumble Bees will make their first-ever appearance as they are hosted by the Prowlers in a 7:30 pm face-off with radio broadcast time set for 7:00 pm on WFAT 102.7 FM, "The Fat One," and 930 AM.
